Paris, France – The Original Light Show
The “City of Light” lives up to its name with a dazzling display that makes every photo frame-worthy. The Eiffel Tower’s hourly sparkle creates the perfect centerpiece, while the Seine reflects the city’s golden glow like a mirror. Pro tip: Position your clients on Pont Alexandre III at blue hour (just after sunset) when the sky and city lights create perfect exposure balance.
